How to Remove a Watermark or Text from a Photo

TL;DR

Brush over a watermark, logo, or block of text and PhotoRepair erases it, filling the area with AI inpainting so nothing is left behind — all processed on your device.

Steps

Open the image in PhotoRepair and select the eraser tool.
Brush over the watermark, logo, or text.
Let the AI fill the area from the surrounding pixels.
Zoom in and touch up any faint remnants.
Export the clean image.

Why it works this way

Text and watermarks sit on top of the image, so simply “deleting” them would leave a hole. PhotoRepair reconstructs what belongs underneath with AI inpainting, so the area reads as continuous background or texture instead of a patch — and it does it on-device without uploading your photo.

Tips & edge cases

Semi-transparent watermarks over busy areas may need a second pass.
Brush the whole mark, including thin strokes, so nothing faint survives.
Respect ownership — only remove marks from images you’re allowed to edit.

FAQ

Will removing a watermark leave a mark? No. AI inpainting rebuilds the area, so the spot blends into the surrounding image.

Can it remove text and date stamps too? Yes. Brush over any text, logo, or stamp and it’s inpainted away.

Should I only remove watermarks from photos I’m allowed to edit? Yes — use this on your own images or where you’re permitted; PhotoRepair is a tool, not a license to alter others’ work.
